. III II. Mr.. Foster has spent the last
three years in Rochester Theologi-.
cal Seminary, from which institu
tion he recently graduated with dis
tinguished honors, being chosen as
one Of six out Of d class Of forty who
should make addresses on com
mencement day. His new charge
istone Of the wealthiest churches in
the State and his congregation is
composed of the most cultured and
refined people. But we venture. the.
assertion that they will find in Rev.
Foster one who will give them fresh
intellectual food every week. and
who will in every respect meet the
demands required Of him. We re-
/ member how IN I'VE olden days. he
used to deal out in sledge- hammer
blow style ponderous truths that
fairly startled, then challenged the
admiration and thought OF his hear
ers. And now, with his intellectual
horizon broadened with study, and
with his vigorous style Of thinking
rendered still more vigorous by con
tinuous research and thought, he is
better able than ever to perform the
duties Of his high calling. We CON
graduate him, as q former West
Virginian, on his brilliant success,
and we congratulate his church at
Saratoga upon obtaining the services
of 10 able d minister, christian
thinker and scholar.
